Genre---Science Fiction








Science Fiction- usually involves technology and the future.
I wrote a story about leader who is obssesed in history. In the line of battle against plaque, he declared the nation under siege and asked his soldiers to kill all garbage enemy of that state including people with deadly virus and aging brain. A nation free of any killer diseases of modern times, free of ignorance with citizens having an IQ of at least 180. In the name of science, what so called Human Genome Project they created battalion of test tube babies free from genetic diseases and having an artificial intelligence. Wonder babies. The dangerous mind. The very character of this leader, whose ambition it seems is as huge as his ego, called himself by many different names, Godot the Great, Hero, God. At the end, he is the most shameful leader in global history.

Tonton Kartun







Genre is comedy----a story that tells about a series of funny or comical event.
Tonton is a hilarious cartoonist who has out of this world character. Sa kabila ng pagiging engot ay may power si Tonton, he brings cartoon characters into life. The story with mystical elements, magic, and supernatural forces, futuristic, from a simple comics super cartoon hero evolved in animation and computer generated images.
Napakaganda ng visual effect kung magkakaroon ng hininga sa animated film. Ang tangenge at marusing na si Tonton ay sakit ng ulo ng kanyang bos na si Bon Datkom. Mapaglaro ang tadhana dahil lagi naman silang pinagtatagpo, matapos magsara ang publikasyon ng komiks ay nagsama uli sila sa animation studio. Laging magkakontra. Para bang nuong past life nila ay magkaaway na talaga ang dalawa. Dito makakasama ang mga karakter na hipan lang ng hangin ay nakangiti na. Mga taong mababaw pero sa kanilang kababawan sila nagiging malalim.
A dream team up to my artist, Gary Reyes sa pahina ng Espesyal Komiks na ang date of issue ay pagitan ng 2002.

Mga Sikat na Manunulat

Dr.Efren Abueg, Prof. Eros Atalia, Eng. Abdon Balde Jr.




It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon.
Akalain ko ba naman na napakaganda ng hapon na iyon nang makita kong pumarada sa harap ng bahay namin ang isang sasakyan at mula roon ay iniluwa ang tatlong sikat na manunulat.

Pag-aarya

Teachers and Students of Ashi, Tanza, Cavite






"Writing is a continous study."

Ang pagsusulat ay walang katapusang pag-aaral. Hindi nagtatapos ang pag-aaral sa unibersidad, kundi sa pagpalaot sa totoong buhay.

Tumingin kayo sa mga bagay na pula, ang tanong: ilang berde ang inyong nakita. Ganoon ang pagsusulat, talagang lalawakan ang scoop. Trabaho talaga ng manunulat na ipakita ang hindi nakikita ng iba.
Ang tumayo sa karakter ng iba. Halimbawa ay nagsusulat ka tungkol sa taong grasa, dapat alam mo ang pakiramdam ng isang taong grasa. Hahaha! Hindi ko sinabi na ampunin mo ang taong grasa o mag-anyo kang taong grasa. Responsable talaga tayo sa ating mga sinusulat. At dapat ay alam natin kung ano ang ating isinusulat, ang format. Dati raw magkaaway ang poetry at prose pero ngayon bati-bati na sila. Sabi nga ng poet na si Rommel Samson, me prose-poetry na.

Isang imbitasyon ang dinaluhan ko para tumayong guest speaker sa First Julugan Prose-Writing Workshop, na inorganisa ng Cavite Young Writers Association, Inc., a community-based literary organization na naglalayon na pasiglahin ang kamalayan ng mga Kabitenyo sa sining, literatura, historya at kultura. Ang pagtalakay sa popular writing in the local context ay napuno ng masiglang interksiyon at aryadong kuru-kuro. Prose is writing that resembles everyday speech. Napakahalaga ng clarity of ideas . Ang pagiging makapukaw interes ng pamagat. Ang pagiging buo ng karakter. Ang direksiyon ng istorya. Ang kabuluhan ng paksa. Totoo, para maging epektibong manunulat ay marami pa rin tayong dapat malaman. Hindi pa ito nagtatapos sa aking nalalaman. Tingnan mo nga naman ke Lester Dimaranan, Editor-in-chief ng Julugan Weekly ko pa nalaman na meron palang grupo ng mga kabataan dito sa Cavite na nagsusulong ng kamalayan sa mundo ng malikhaing pagsulat. At kay Ronald Verzo, Presidente ng CYWAI ko narinig na sa Cavite pala nagmula ang magagaling na awtor na sina Efren Abueg at Eros Atalia. Lucky, bakit hindi mo agad sinabi na magkikita kami. Para akong isang fan na naghihintay sa autograph ng mga idol na padating.

Tula mula sa Puso


"At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet." -- Plato

A journalist from India sent me this lovely poem.


mein jagat ka prashan ulzha, kintu mera hal tumhi ho

prem ka hun vraksha pawan kintu mera fal tumhi ho

aatma ho gaat ki tum, bin tumhare mein kahan hun

ek hi hum tum yaahan kis naam se tumko bulaun


I am a puzzle of world but you are my only solution. I'm holy tree of love but only you are my fruit. You are soul of my body, without you I am lifeless. You and I both are one then what name I should call you?
